RASPBERRY PI 4 – FLIGHTAWARE SETUP

Flightaware…an amazing app, will give you a free subscription if you monitor the skies above your house. To setup a raspberry pi with this ability, perform the following

This guide assumes you have a Raspberry Pi, already setup with Raspbian. If you don’t have this, follow the guide below:
https://tacticalware.com/install-raspbian-os-on-raspberry-pi-4/

Once you are up and running with your Raspberry Pi, you will need to plug in your flightaware usb dongle which can be found on the bottom of this page

After that, run the following commands:
From your Raspberry Pi “Desktop”
Open a terminal
sudo bash
apt-get update
apt dist-upgrade
reboot

Your system will now reboot and come back up to your “Desktop”
Open a terminal
sudo bash
wget http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/p/piaware-support/piaware-repository_3.7.1_all.deb
dpkg -i piaware-repository_3.7.1.deb
apt-get update
apt-get install piaware
piaware-config allow-auto-updates yes
apt-get install dump1090-fa
reboot


Your system will now reboot and come back up to your “Desktop”
Open a terminal
sudo bash
ifconfig
get the ip address of your Pi
Open the Chromium web browser on your Raspberry Pi
Navigate to https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/claim
Create an account or Login and claim your piaware.
If successful you will see a message similar to the following message on the web page:

HOSTING WEBSITES BEYOND YOUR GOVERNMENT’S REACH

Many countries have websites, and content they cannot visit, or information they cannot post. Here in the States, simply saying fraud and election together will get you banned from social media and from searches….Welcome to 2021…

To post content beyond your local country’s censorship, you will have to make your website in a different country. Even then, your government may be able to take it down through their partnerships with those countries

How do you make sure you are safe, and your website is safe….

Build your website, in a country, which does not have an Extradition agreement with your local government….

For us in the States, to post information about fraudulent elections we would have to select a web hosting provider which resides outside of the countries in from the current list (they cannot be on this list):

ANTI-SURVEILLANCE / COUNTERSURVEILLANCE / ANTI-PAPPARAZZI / CLOTHING

  • Privacy

The simple lack of Privacy is becoming more and more prevalent these days. In looking for technologies that would skew unwanted photographs, I was able to find some info on the web, yet i was unable to purchase any products that actually did it. So I threw together some of my own COVID masks, with the pieces and parts added to them. Below you will find a few pictures of what I did.

I use bandannas as face coverings during the pandemic. While I will use an N95 mask, I will overlay it with your regular bandanna for that second (now CDC recommended) layer of protection.

I had decided to put the anti-surveillance tech to use on these bandannas
anti-surveillance
anti-papparazzi

As you can see from above, I started with the regular camo bandanna, and overlayed a pattern on top of them in this grey material. The grey pattern is the countersurveillance system.

When a photo is taken of these bandannas, and the flash is used (daytime or night time) the photo is blacked out, and the grey areas are now extraordinarily white, as you can see below. These photos were taken in the same light, of the same bandannas, using the same iphone camera. The only difference is the flash was now enabled, as is with most cameras.

antipapparazzi

And finally here are some pictures of me, wearing it, and having a photo taken with the iphone camera’s flash on.

RASPBERRY PI RDP TO WINDOWS 10

From time to time I need the ability to use RDP from my Raspberry Pi, to connect to my Windows 10 computer. Here is how I have installed RDP on my Raspberry Pi.

First you need to make sure your Raspberry Pi is running on Raspbian

Next, open a Terminal
Type:
sudo bash
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install xrdp remmina
Press Y when prompted
The software will install
Once it has completed, reboot your Raspberry Pi

When you are back onto your Desktop
Go to the Raspberry Menu in the top left
Select Internet
Click Remmina

Now put the settings of your Windows 10 computer in, and make sure your Windows 10 system already has RDP enabled

Connect, and you are in!

ACCESSING .ONION SITES WITHOUT TOR

While TOR is the recommended way to access the dark web, everyone and anyone can still visit without the same level of anonymity. I certainly would suggest using TOR always, however if you need to get to any .onion site from a computer without tor, you can do so by following this:

Open an internet browser (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, etc)
Type in the .onion site (ex. https://protonirockerxow.onion/rc/)
After the .onion portion of the address, add .dog (ex
Press Enter
You are now viewing RISEUP’s website on the darkweb, using a regular browser
